extend url_for

Hi!

I want to extend the url_for function (and some more functions) with a plugin.

Now I tried this:

# ExtendBase module ActiveController   class Base

    def url_for       'OK'     end

  end end

def url_for   'OK' end

But that didn't have any effect. I have this in my init.rb: # Include hook code here require 'extend_base'

Anyone knows what could be wrong?

Tried this also:

module ActionView   module Helpers     module UrlHelper       alias_method :force_link_to, :link_to

      def link_to(name, options = {}, html_options = nil, *parameters_for_method_reference)         'OK'       end

    end   end end

But nothing! Not even an error message...

OK. The problem was that I mixed (well I believe that was the problem) unix and windows characters. When I threw the file away and typed it from scratch the problem was solved.

Another problem arises. I have this in my plugin lib:

module ActionController   module Routing     def get_default_controller    ActionController::Routing::Routes.routes[0].requirements[:controller]     end     def get_default_action       ActionController::Routing::Routes.routes[0].requirements[:action]     end   end end

But when I do this in a view: <%= debug ActionController::Routing.get_default_controller %>

I get this error: undefined method `get_default_controller' for ActionController::Routing:Module

Does anyone know what could be the problem here?

Try it with a "self." in front of the method name as in:

def self.get_default_controller    ... end

def self.get_default_action    ... end
